The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee WilliamsThursday, Friday and Saturday, November 20-22, 8:00 PMSaturday, November 22, and Sunday, November 23, 2:00 PM

A mother dreams of a better life for her two children: a son who aches to be free and a daughter who escapes into the fragile, haunting world of The Glass Menagerie. Tennessee Williams’ American classic is a beautiful, desperate story of one family, trying to find a way to the world outside the walls of their tenement home.

A cell phone, left by a stranger who passed away in a diner, rings… and Jean answers it. It turns out to be a wake-up call that sends her on a series of strange adventures, both real and imagined, in a quirky modern adventure. In Dead Man’s Cell Phone, MacArthur Fellowship winner and playwright Sarah Ruhl creates a story about reconnecting with our own spirit in a contemporary world, and learning that life is for the living. This production contains adult language and themes.

Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-AbaireThursday, Friday and Saturday, November 13-15, 7:00 PM

Becca and Howie could be anybody's neighbors in a typical suburb, until the accidental death of their four-year-old son tests everything about that life… and their marriage. Rabbit Hole is a bittersweet drama about finding hope in the lowest moments of our lives, and the paths we take to return to the light of day. This production contains adult themes and language.

A desperate sculptor hopes to impress his fiancée's father and a millionaire patron by "borrowing" a few antiques from his absent neighbor. But after a fuse blows in his apartment, plunging them all into darkness, a hilarious race against time ensues to set things right before the lights come back on and the neighbor returns. Black Comedy is a wild, comic farce by renowned British playwright Sir Peter Shaffer, author of Amadeus. This production contains adult language and themes.

The work of our CAPG members is showcased through public screenings of their projects and the winning entries to our Five-Day Film Festivals, where teams of up four filmmakers have five days to create their own personal five-minute version of popular films.
